Market drivers

The oil and gas industry is continuing to reduce costs, improve efficiency, and exploit new fields. The world is increasingly relying on offshore resources, and to ensure future supplies, it is also moving into deeper waters (3 kilometers and more).

Continuing oil and gas growth will drive expenditure on gas infrastructure, including pipelines, subsea template systems, smart well control systems and subsea processing. It will also stimulate new builds of FPSOs, Tension Leg Platforms (TLPs) and Multipurpose Support Vessels (MSVs).

Moving the control of subsea development onshore can greatly reduce operating expenses. However, it requires longer submarine energy cables and longer umbilicals.
Offshore “smart wells” need remote management capability through sensor, instrumentation and control cables, and extended WANs and LANs for application-sharing among wells and platforms.

To answer these challenges, Nexans provides a complete range of cables and accessories for all of your offshore subsea projects.

Nexans is present at every level of oil and gas production, providing a wide range of energy and telecom cables for offshore exploration, production, processing, storage and transport. We are constantly improving installation techniques, as well as trenching and burying systems for cables on the seabed.

Our innovative technologies include long-length, deepwater power umbilicals to meet the rising power needs for pumps and subsea processing. Nexans also provides high-speed fiber and copper backbones for data transfer and remote control applications.

Customized offshore solutions include:

electrical direct electrical-heating cables to keep pipelines flowing

sheathings that resist sea salt, chemicals and “mud”

advanced fire-performance products

customized software for the optimal installation of dynamic risers.

Increasingly, Nexans is playing an important advisory and service role in the offshore world, which includes :

seismic exploration,

planning of ultra-deepwater architecture and technology,

ROV operation,
